Q:            How will I know if practice or a meet is cancelled?

A:             The general rule of thumb is that if the school is closed; we will not have practice or a meet.  This applies to all holidays and snow days.  If the Weston Public Schools cancel all afterschool activities due to inclement weather practice will also be canceled. We will have practice over the winter break.  The schedule may be modified depending on how many swimmers will be around for practice.

The quickest way to know if practice is canceled due to bad weather is to sign up for Text Message Alerts from our team website.  This is highly recommended because it is the quickest communication we can provide in case of a sudden cancelation.  Instructions:

Q:            What should swimmers bring to Meets?

A:             Please bring the following to all practices:

·         Everything listed for Practice

·         Extra towels to stay warm (More on Saying Warm)

·         Shammy (suggested) - a small towel made of a special material that quickly absorbs water, and then easily rings out.  This will reduce the number of towels you will need by at least half

·         Dry sweatshirt

·         Dry pants

·         Dry socks

·         Small snack for between events.  No food or glass bottles on deck please.

·         Money – most meets offer a snack bar

·         Entertainment – something to do while waiting for the next event (cards, book, etc)

§  Note that there usually is not a secure location for valuables at meets. Jewelry, electronics devices and money are the responsibility of the individual swimmer.  Leaving them home is the best option.
